But the German news outlet reported that BAMG was writing to employment agencies to be able to gather information around the travel of asylum seekers.

In a BMAF statement quoted by the German news outlet said: "In the case, however, when the journey is being conducted for leisure purposes, this may be an indication that the refugee fears no persecution."

In these cases, a migrant would be stripped of their asylum seeker status.
